Giving THANKS with a cool THANKSGIVING *FREEBIE!

With Thanksgiving coming up I know many teachers are looking for easy activities that will engage their students on days when they (the students of course : ) are feeling antsy for a long weekend. Super Turkey SPLAT! "I Have That!" Is a perfect game to play with the entire class or in small groups! It reinforces simple parts of speech. The bright graphics and easy to follow rules will keep your students' attention. Download this game for *FREE today!!

Are you looking for more games that are purposeful, yet fun for your students? Check out these games below!! By establishing clear and consistent classroom routines for students to work in centers, you can develop an easy to manage system for establishing a "workshop" period in your class during instructional time. Workshop can feel like game time to students; however, they are playing games with a purpose! My store offers a variety of differentiated games for students ranging from a 2nd-5th grade level. Most games include a high, medium and low level of differentiation (great for practicing a variety of skills). Once you teach students to play these games, a workshop period will basically run itself!! Most of my games have similair rules and can easily be taught to your students. All of the SPLAT games are played alike so once students learn how to play one, they can easily play the others.
